2001 Silverado fuel line question


Recommended Posts

Posted

Here recently I had a fuel line leak from the main feed line I was able to repair this with a fuel injection hose and double clamps. While doing that I noticed the quick connect was rusted and leaking as well so while replacing that I had cut the nylon line and use nylon compression type fitting that connected nylon to nylon for a new quick connect. About 100 miles later the service engine light came on and the code was for a small evap leak. Could the culprit be the fittings and clamps are causing it or would it be something else?

Feed,return and vapor line are next to each other, probably touched it during work,if one was bad,the other two aren't far behind

Yeah I’m going to actually get the entire line changed in a couple months just a matter of saving up for a shop to do the work. So the actual vapor line is most likely the cause and not the fuel line I repaired?

The only reason I ask this is to make sure it’s not the actual fuel line that’s causing the code. If the fuel line isn’t able to have a evap leak then I’m sure what your saying is right as it does completely makes sense
